Happy Wednesday! I'm thrilled to be back today with another giveaway from the folks at 20x200 and the idea of giving art as a gift this season. What surprised me since our last giveaway with them is how much new art they have added to the site. Along with that, they've got an ace gift guide –ideas for everyone you know from wanderers (one of my faves) to foodies and everything in between! Be sure to check out their Art for Sandy Relief project released in collaboration with TIME’s photo editors. All net proceeds of these editions support six local charities. Learn more about these specialized organizations here.

And you might want to sign up for their newsletter where you'll get the first info on things like their always amazing black friday and cyber monday sales along with new art they just added!

So now for the giveaway! 20x200 is offering a $100 coupon giveaway and to enter, just visit their site, check out the art there, come back here and tell us what print you'd buy and for who (except please do not include the art listed here in this post). Sounds fun, yes? Good luck! We'll announce a winner here Monday, November 26th/12! (Note: Anonymous commenters are not eligible).

*Update - the winner of the giveaway is Michelle Suzanne - picked from random generator no. 34. Congrats Michelle - we just sent you an email to claim your prize!Jan

I love the print 'we are so good together' by Dylan Fareed. I would buy it for my husband. It would be a nice reminder to hang above our bed when we get into a late night argument. Remind us that it's not worth it because we are so good together! :)

Not sure if I can participate from Europe... but I'd pick "Untitled (Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, Iceland"by Carlo Van de Roerhttp://www.20x200.com/artworks/906-carlo-van-de-roer-untitled-blue-lagoon-reykjavik-iceland

Always amazing works at 20x200!I'm a big fan of the bookshelf seires and would buy this one: http://www.20x200.com/artworks/3842-jane-mount-ideal-bookshelf-353-english-lit for my boyfriend, and avid reader!

The Artwork is just amazing, so many to choose from! The maps are very beautiful (of course the Amsterdam ones, because that's where we live) and the 'street views', because they are true storytellers. The collages are also very inspiring and the black and white photography is extraordinary.

As we have to make a choice, the 'Motel Bien Venido' by Walter Pickering is our pick. We love this kind of American loneliness and would love to have a reproduction of this print at our cozy, Dutch home.

I love all the bookself prints and especially The English literature one as I have read all of these books at University while studying to be a teacher! I think I would keep that one to myself if I could or give it to my niece to inspire her to read some of those classics!AriadnefromGreece!

I'd buy either: Old Recorderby Todd McLellan or Old Cameraby Todd McLellan for my boyfriend because he is a collector of cameras and a builder of electronics, but if I was feeling selfish I'd buy Court of First Model Tenement House in New York, 1936 for me. I'm surprised I could narrow it down to 3!

I love the Stamen Design Watercolor Chicago print. I have tons of friends and family who live in the city who would adore owning that! But I'd probably give it to my friend who moved to CO and misses Chicago a lot!

I love Mark Ulriksen's piece, "Gone!". My father was born and raised in San Francisco and is an old time Giants fan. This painting artfully captures AT&T Park and I would love to surprise him with this! There is so much cheesy sports memorabilia out there and "Gone!" would be such a special kind of gift to give to such a die hard fan!

'Underwood' by Andrew Miller would be my way to donate to my boyfriend a part of his dream that is becoming, one day, a full-time writer. The fact that I simply ADORE the print itself doesn't hurt either..

Vogue JUL07:pg145 (Ripeness is All) and Vanity Fair MAY08:pg269 (and, incredibly, looking not a day older)by Lauren DiCioccio are absolutely amazing. They are so unique and enticing that I would stare at them for HOURS.

I love giving the gift of art, and I think my mother would adore the "The Triple Vision Flattened Fantasy from the Disbanding of Michelle duBois"Fingers crossed!Happy Thanksgiving!xxmyhereandnowlife@gmail.com

Unfortunately it's sold out, but I've had my eye on Ideal Bookshelf 102: Cooking for my sister, who's a chef, before. She and my family own either these books (like the Silver Spoon, Julia Child and Jamie O) or other books by these chefs (like Donna Hay) so it would be appropriate for her, my mum or even my other sister! And the colours are great too.

i would totally get the evening nantucket by daniel armstrong. i love landscape photography, and the blurriness just adds such a mystery feel. and to be honest i would buy it for myself, i am in dire need for a couple prints in my bedroom

I would purchase Helena Wurzel's Standing at the Edge of the Water for my mom. I think she'd like the colors and the graphic style, but it also makes me think of trying new things... "testing the waters". A reminder to do what frightens you.

"vacationland" by William wegman for my brother who is making me so proud by going to college and excelling against everyone's expectations. He loves to fish and this would be a beautiful addition to his apartment reminding him in the dead of winter that summer fishing is just around the corner.
